    I was at school (primary and high school) with this legend.
    I can honestly say, the nice guy you see on telly and in the media, is exactly who he was as a kid.
    Absolute legend of the game! Absolute legend off the field! One of Rugby's best ambassadors.

      Hmmmm Hes up there. Probably is for now, but I think one of the current era players will have to take that place soonish.... Maybe, although there can be an argument that the team today is more a unit that individual brilliance I guess, but the sport has also changed A LOT, players cant be one dimensional anymore. Few names that come to mind Is Fourie du Preez, Victor Matfield, Bakkies and then current era Eben, Marx. BUT for now the only back player that might compete is Fourie dP and maybe Joost. Well see how long the current Era gues can keep going.
